Question

Factor this trinomial. Your answer should consist of two binomials.

y^2 +8y-33

PPPPPLLLLLZZZZZ HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

y² + 8y - 33 :

Break the expression into groups for formula ax²+ bx+c :

= (y²- 3y) + (11y - 33 )

Factor y from y² - 3y => y (y - 3)

Factor out 11 from 11 y - 33 => 11 (y - 3)

= y ( y- 3 ) + 11 ( y - 3 )

Factor out common term (y - 3 ) :

= ( y - 3 ) ( y + 11 )

hope this helps!
